Water/Meth is reliable, check out devilsown.com My buddy has it on his 3rd gen eclipse with a fully built/stroked EVO swap with a GT35R and pushing 20+psi daily(400+whp area). Alot of the problems with water/meth is not the actual water/meth system it is the user and/or the installer.

Wow, lots of replies lol.
anyway, got the car back yesterday. all i have to say is this car is absoluetely ridiculous.
and, it has made me realize two things:
1. Different trans
2. Dont drive in snow PERIOD
Ill have videos up soon hopefully, i dont have a digital camera but one is in the works.
Anyway, on to the fun stuff. Getting onto the freeway, it was wet, they had put down some de icer i guess. I turned onto the on ramp in first, and rolled onto about half throttle, shifting at 3500. As i grabbed second i laid into the throttle a bit before shifting into third, the wheels broke loose a bit and i could feel some play in the steering wheel. I got onto the freeway cruising in 4th at about 4000. I was changing lanes, saw some foglights in the next laane over. Just so happens it was a Subaru. A de badged STI.. i damn near **** my pants right there. I got up next to him, and he began to mess with me, hitting the gas and letting off, and such. I left it in fourth and got on it. Spooled right up and by the time he hit the gas i was about two cars ahead. He dropped a gear i think, but not really sure, anyway, he began to pull on me. He was about a car back when the VTEC kicked in and i evened up with him. I dont really think roll ons prove anything.. so i decided to get off the freeway
I let off, he did the same, i shifted over a lane, and got off the freeway. He followed me. we got to the light, cars in his lane and nobody behind me so when the light turned green i waited up for him, he didnt really wait for me though when he went buy me he was probably doing 40 before i got goin, so i got on it and fell back to like 5 or 6 cars cuz of wheelspin.. gah.. stupid damn snow, i let off, and he turned off. pointless to even try to race in the snow, plus i feel like a total moron racing on a street that i probably couldnt stop on.
That was my first drive in the hatch. its definetely hard to control, but i think i made a decent decision. Kinda wishing i had some longer gears tho, definetely not fun with all that wheelspin.
vids/dyno soon hopefully

RE: b18c5 turbo hatch
oh yeah, thats the point. i dropped like 5 or 6 lengths when i mashed on it, simply cuz he was grabbing and i was spinning
conditions are still crap.. cant seem to catch dry except on the freeway, and nobody cruises the freeway here.
